After weeks of exchanging YouTube trash talking, The Game and Bow Wow finally went head-to-head against each other on Xbox's Madden NFL 09, during a match held on Friday (September 5) at a secret location in Los Angeles.
In a room, surrounded by couches, members of both Game's and Bow Wow's entourages, and the media, the rappers got down to business.
Bow Wow chose the Cincinnati Bengals, while The Game -- who came ready, wearing a mouthpiece and eye black underneath his eyes -- played as the New England Patriots.
Right from the beginning, Game took control, scoring the first touchdown with a pass to Randy Moss. By the end of the first quarter, the Compton rapper was taking lil Bow Wow to school, with the score 28-0 in favor of Game.
The game was over before it even started.
Bow scored at the beginning of the second quarter, but Game answered right back by the quarter's end. At halftime, Game was up, 35-7.
"Y'all playing in the snow. This is some janky-ass sh**," Bow Wow complained, referring to the virtual weather conditions. He also mentioned several times a glitch in the game, after The Game's tackles cause him to fumble several times, drawing "boos" from the Black Wall Street crew, who began waving white towels taunting the young rapper.
That was pretty much all she wrote. Toward the end of the match, Game threw on a football helmet and finished it out. 55-23 was the final score.
"I'm the sh**, man. I don't know what else to say," Game yelled, after taking the victory. "I ended up scoring 55. You know why I scored 55 points? Because I talked to Willie Mcginest today, that's his number, 55. ... Shoutout to Jermaine Dupri for coming through to pick up his little puppy. Shoutout to Bill Gates man for holding it down. Shoutout to Oprah and Gayle King. Shoutout to Ciara (he said with a wink), I told you Ciara. ... John Madden, I love you, man."
"I don't care what they say, It was in the snow, first of all," Bow Wow said in response. "Second of all ... nah, I'm just playing. We had a lot of fun doing it. ... Money going to charity. We both winners at the end of the day. It feel good to come together."
The host followed by asking when there would be a rematch. Bow Wow responded immediately, saying, "That n**** gotta come to Ohio now. He gotta come to Ohio. I'mma get all my homies. It's just gonna be him, five of his homeboys, and like 20 of my n****s, 50 of my n****s. Now, he gotta come to me, n****. And I still get more girls than this n****."
"I'm not cute, I got kids" Game said following Bow Wow. "I got kids your height, man. I don't need no girls, man. ... Ain't no girls allowed in my house, anyway -- only gamers. That's it, and you're not one."
Game walked away with the $100,000, which will go to charity.
